All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 38 The Big World Opens

The sky grew darker and darker, and the moonlight disappeared.

All that could be heard was the sound of heavy rain rolling across the sky.

Ji Ran stood there, the Kunwu sword in his hand still radiating a cold light. The Youshanju's eyes beneath him shone with a turquoise hue, captivating even more on this rainy night.

No one dared to go up.

We have just witnessed how powerful the thief in front of us is.

Most importantly, even though the long street was already like this, the county government office was completely silent. This could only mean one thing - the captain who held the seal in the county government office was dead!

Bang!
At this moment, Chen Qingyan galloped out of the county government courtyard on his horse!

"Lord Ji!"

"withdraw!"

Wang Xian was seen on his horse, holding a stack of bamboo slips, while Chen Chu, standing behind him, rushed out of the gate carrying two huge wooden boxes that were as long as a person! The spear barrel, as thick as a baby's arm, was almost bent into a bow by the two wooden boxes!

Fortunately, the horse was a Youshan colt. If it was an ordinary horse, it probably wouldn't be able to bear the terrifying weight of the two boxes!
Ji Ran did not hesitate at this moment and immediately turned around to chase after the three people.

There was some commotion among the Silver-Armored Han Army.

"Go after them!"

"Tell the city guards to guard the gate!"

"Send someone out quickly to tell those who are killing the rebels in the village to come back!"

……

Ji Ran rode over and quickly caught up with the three people.

Chen Qingyan was obviously quite familiar with this county town. He immediately pointed ahead and said, "Go out from the northwest wall along the ghost path!"

"Then turn south and rest in the small mountain village we visited earlier!"

Several people followed Taoist Chen's horse in silence. When they were about to hit the city wall, Chen Qingyan muttered something, saying, "We will enter the underworld later. Don't open your eyes, just keep riding forward!"

"Close your eyes!"

puff!
Ji Ran closed his eyes, but still felt like he had broken through a membrane. He felt like he had suddenly entered water. However, this feeling was quickly replaced by a chill.

Seven breaths!

At this moment, he could feel that the Youshanju under him was moving at an abnormally fast speed, and the whistling wind in his ears was like a knife.

brush-

Suddenly, Ji Ran felt a sense of emptiness under his body, as if he had suddenly walked out of the swimming pool while swimming, and his whole body felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead.

This feeling was fleeting, but it caused him to stumble and fall to the ground, unable to stand firmly!

Bang!
Not only him fell to the ground, but also Chen Chu.

In the pounding rain, Ji Ran was breathing heavily. He looked sideways and was surprised to find that the county wall was very far away from him, at least several miles away.

"Hahahaha, he escaped! He also got the half volume of the Ghost Scripture from that evil monk!"

Chen Qingyan laughed loudly in the rain. That night, he had been almost teased by the evil monk for some time!

The result at this moment was beyond his expectations.

Ji Ran felt relieved, and with a flick of his tongue, he swallowed the small Huandan that he had been holding in his mouth.

The next moment, countless blood plasma on his body was like water from a broken bottle, instantly dyeing his entire body red and mixing with the rain.

Ji Ran was breathing heavily. After the fierce battle that night, he finally understood the drawbacks of the "Angry Beast" skill.

When your health drops, your attack and defense increase. Even with your defense increased, normal attacks can't penetrate it! That 400% increase in defense can be considered a quadruple health bar that can resist physical attacks!
but!

This comes at a price. The body needs to penetrate countless bone lines to maintain the stability and defense of the wound, consuming a lot of energy.

The amount of health lost is equal to the energy limit deducted.

After 69% of his health was deducted from his self-injury, his energy immediately dropped to 31%.

Even if you use the residual energy to recover, you can only recover up to 31% of your energy.

This is an unsustainable state.

Especially when he used the Heavenly Demon Thorn at the end, the intense consumption of energy almost made him faint!

Standing on the long street at the time, if those ghost soldiers really dared to attack, I would have turned around and run. It was simply because I was completely out of energy. Yu Lie's recovery required a reduction in HP, and I didn't even have much HP left.

At this moment, his blood volume and energy began to recover, the wounds that were knotted with silk melted away, and the injuries also became apparent.

However, the effect of Xiao Huan Dan is very good. My injuries have recovered quickly and most of them have returned to normal, and my health has reached 71%.

At the same time, Ji Ran pinched away the Qi dropped by the Yaksha Captain.

【Open Qi (ordinary)】

Obtained: Painted Skin (Ordinary), Yaksha Bone (Materials), Extreme Qi (Ordinary)
[Painted Skin]: A piece of leather left by the Painted Skin Yaksha. It can be used three times to transform into different appearances.

[Yaksha Bone]: Material used to craft ghostly limbs, can be forged, eaten, and used to feed Yin creatures. [Ji Dao Qi]: A trace of transcendental power gained by a living being after breaking free from its shackles. Consuming it has a chance of breaking through shackles (such as bottlenecks in mastery, realm, and cultivation techniques). Currently, Ji Dao Qi is considered "ordinary" and can be used by those who haven't yet reached a certain level. The success rate for breakthroughs is 70%, while the success rate for those at the first level is 20%. Using it above the first level only increases proficiency and does not provide breakthrough benefits.

Fortunately, Ji Ran smiled bitterly, it was good to have a Jidao Qi. Otherwise, what he had risked his life to get would be no better than a ghost killed by a stick in Journey to the West.

Only now did Ji Ran fully realize the poverty and richness of different worlds.

boom!
Boom!

Suddenly, a strong impact swept in all directions!
Ji Ran stood up with his knife in hand as if by reflex, but he saw an arm of a warrior in golden armor stretched out from the void, beating and kneading a palm leaf scripture fiercely!

Ji Ran was stunned and asked, "What is this?"

"Ruin it."

The heavy rain poured down on Taoist Chen, but his eyes were clear and resolute.

"I once saw that demon monk transform an ordinary person into a first-level demon in an instant. There must be a magic method to break free from the shackles in these scriptures."

“I have confirmed that the text is correct, but I am afraid that after reading it, I will not be able to bear to destroy it.”

"But I, Chen Qingyan, must know my true nature and eradicate all evil!"

"I won't leave a single word!"

Debris was flying all over the sky, but was suddenly dissipated by a gust of wind swirled by the big hand!

It was not until this moment that Chen Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and was stunned.

"Brother Chen?"

"Brother Chen!"

Ji Ran also looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Chen Chu lying on the ground unconscious!

When he saw his blood volume, Ji Ran's heart tightened!
8%!

what happened?

Ji Ran walked forward, opened the big gun carrying the box, took out the wooden box from Chen Chu's arms, opened it and took a look, he almost laughed out of anger!
17 South Sea pearls, 15 more to go.

He really couldn't bear to eat it!

But at this moment, Chen Chu's injuries were serious, and the bleeding was almost visible to the naked eye. In this short while, his blood volume had dropped to 6%!

If it were the real world, this kind of injury would have been enough to send someone to a crematorium.

Ji Ran immediately grabbed the pearls, crushed them, and fed them to Chen Chu! At the same time, he called Wang Xian and Chen Qingyan, untied Chen Chu's armor, crushed some of the pearls, and applied them to his wounds.

After a lot of trouble, the wooden box was empty, and Chen Chu's health was stabilized at around 40%. However, looking at his single-digit energy, he probably wouldn't wake up for a while.

This location is still too dangerous.

Chen Qingyan summoned his soldiers and horses, carrying Chen Chu and the box, and walked along the mountain path towards the small mountain village.

On the way, Ji Ran had the opportunity to look at the world mission he got after killing the Yaksha Captain.

There are four large world quests in total, all of which are carried out simultaneously. Once any one reaches 30% completion, you can leave this world and return. You can claim all the rewards, but you can only choose one of them for evaluation.

[Dethrone the Dragon: Cut off the fate of the Southern Han Dynasty and extinguish the dragon and tiger spirit of the Ghost Kingdom! ]

进程：刘汉龙气0/1、南汉州府龙虎气0/60、南汉县城龙虎气1/214
Completion: 0.5%
[Chasing the Deer: Chasing the Deer in the South China Sea, Hunting the Demons in the Miasma of the South!] (Note: This is a collective mission, and the rewards for completing it individually will be doubled)
进程：占领都城0/1、占领州府0/60、占领县城0/214
Completion: 0%
[Demon Slayer: Kill the general and seize the flag, the filthy demon devours the ghost! ]

进程：大魔0/3（九翅天魔、蜃鬼鳞兽、六臂蛇陀）、将鬼1/10、小卒1/100
Completion: 11%
[Great Ranger: Ren Xia's evil spirit, slay demons and blaspheme gods! ]

进程：大灾殃0/3（水、旱、蝗）、牛鬼蛇神0/5、鬼怪种2/50
Completion: 4%
Ji Ran played with the small seal in his hand, realizing that the 0.5% dragon and tiger energy was because he had seized the county seal.

The mission of exiling the dragon is the most difficult to grasp, as it deals with the fate of the nation. It is probably the most hopeless.

However, the "Zhulu" (chasing deer) mission was not suitable for him. It required a talented leader. Moreover, it was a collective mission. I guess in some subsequent worlds, many professionals would enter together.

The last two are much clearer. One is about killing the ghost-transformed Han army. The Painted Skin Captain before that obviously had the power to command ghosts and was included in it.

The last one is to kill wild monsters. The 4% should be the two corpse dogs that I killed when I first entered this world.

Obviously, the difficulty decreases. For the last one, killing a dozen corpse dogs by yourself is enough. But in contrast, the mission reward is definitely very low.

This task is a question of choice and also a question of fate.

From the current perspective, the easiest task for him to complete when going with Chen Chu to seize the military pay should be "eliminating the demons".

In the heavy rain, several people returned to the village.

Ji Ran and the other three went straight into the blacksmith shop and started a fire. Chen Qingyan took out some pancakes and started baking them, while Wang Xian fetched water from the yard and boiled it on the stove.

While several people were busy, Chen Chu slowly woke up. He felt his condition and touched the wound. Seeing the thick pearl powder, he sighed helplessly.

"I will definitely get my military pay."

"But your life is gone, and no one can bring it back for you."

When Ji Ran's voice came, Chen Chu's face was a little evasive, and he said in a deep voice: "I understand."

boom!
Ji Ran waved his hand, pointed at the ground, and said, "Look."
